Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The site is supported by ads, so you never pay or need to create an account.
How does in-browser OCR work?
We run the battle-tested Tesseract OCR engine compiled to WebAssembly. The entire image processing executes locally in your browser's Web Worker.
How do I get the best recognition results?
Use high-resolution images with crisp contrast between characters and background, good lighting, and horizontally aligned text.
Are my documents or photos uploaded?
This tool runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded to a server.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The page adapts to your screen and does not require installing any app.
